Off the top I don't like the growing influence and thumb on the scale of ol Turki. The bodies are just following the mega money with a wink n nod as are selected fighters and the well and interest will not sustain forever. He's already taking shots at the ibf for enforcing its mandatory for Canelo because it doesn't suit his desired wants and "dreams" for Bud vs Canelo. A fight that Canelo has already dismissed?! Sounds like he's readying for a push into the UFC too. Boxing better get ready to be the red headed stepchild once again. He's like a rich naive kid let loose in a toy store.
